By the end of the fifth century, with the structural collapse of
the Roman Empire in the west, Western Europe had fallen into the
so-called Dark Ages. With the power of Rome removed, the Catholic
Church stepped in to fill the void. Its political rise, alongside
that of the Germanic kingdoms, led to dramatic changes in law,
politics, power, and culture. Against the backdrop of that
upheaval, the family became a vitally important area of focus for
cultural struggles related to morality, law, and tradition. This
book explores those battles in order to demonstrate, through the
family, the intersections between Roman and Christian legal
culture, thought, and political power.
